Score!! Any advice/suggestions?

I've had my '13 Prem. for almost 2 years, and bought it as a second vehicle. My primary vehicle at the time was a '19 Ridgeline that still had factory warranty left. My work location changed and I didn't want to put all the miles on my Ridge, so bought the Max for the 110 mile daily round trip.

Fast-forward today....The Ridgeline has been sold, and I now have 94K miles on the Max.(up from 49K when I bought it). Really like it, but would like a lower mileage Max for an every day car. My work commute is about 7 minutes now....LOL

I found a White Pearl Metallic '14 Prem at a dealership in NY with 24K miles and a Cafe Latte interior with Tech pkg. Windows have been tinted, new tires, battery, and owned by an old lady, no joke.....so I bought it.

I'm thinking a rear sway bar, sport grille and sport HIDs (current lenses have minor cataracts). I'll post some pics after I detail it. But I have to put an A/C compressor on my '13 so I can sell it....will then focus on the '14.

Wrt pm, gonna flush the brake fluid, replace brakes (rusty rotors from sitting), and the usual fluids and filters....Any other thoughts or suggestions? Coolant dump and fill?

Also was wondering about some sound deadening (Dynamat, Noico, etc.) for the doors for a quiet ride, but can I leave the window regs and glass in place and still have access to the inner door skins?

That all sounds good. I'd replace all fluids. At 24k mi though, probably not much to worry about. Majority of road noise comes from floor.

I'm selling the blue one, 96K miles, and going to buy one for the garage. The white one will become my daily driver. I've always wanted Crimson Black with a C trim interior, and I just found a fairly low-mileage one...another loaded '14 Prem.

The white one isn't perfect, but it's close.

Does anyone know......I've never seen a Sport model with anything other than a black (or charcoal, whatever) interior....was that just not a thing back in the day? Not a possibility, I'm thinking....??? Bueller?? Anyone??

I'm not sure there's a Maxima Fetish section. I'll just take your word for it.

No clue on interior. With as much looking as you've done recently, you're probably the best one to answer your own question.
